    Hiking

    This trail is a bit steep on the ascent, but it's worth the effort. You can follow a good stretch of the mountain and have a phenomenal view to the Sierra Nevada. The mountain trail itself is easy to hike.

    Hiking

    The Cerro del Cinto trail (short version) goes around a hill that gives an overwhelming impression due to the number of holes that were created during the time of gold prospecting. The route, which takes you through the mining landscape of this natural area, shows you the remains of mines, abandoned gold mines and a village, Rodalquilar, a district of Níjar and the center of the mining sector. Route: 6 or 12 km round trip
